DINING
A beloved burger establishment dishes up greasy goodness in a white paper sack, while just down the road you can find authentic Indian cuisine in an upscale dining environment. There is no shortage of Minnesota favorites like walleye, wild rice, and juicy lucys, but there is also no shortage of Greek gyros, fresh-rolled sushi, and the best dang Irish Rueben you’ve ever had. Delve into the Greater St. Cloud dining scene to discover what you didn’t even realize you were craving.
